Tar only incidents that has oe-
CURED to mar the pleasure Of the
Presidential trip thus far, was an
attempt to burn trestle bridge
over which the Presidential car had
to pass which occurred on Friday
near Jonesboro, Arkansas, but was
discovered in time to avert an acct
dent; and the sad and sudden death
of Judge Elicit after his welcome
address to the Presidential party at
Memphis, Tenn. With these ex
ceptions the trip has been one of
unalloyed pleasure.

WOMEN are the great American
smugglers, and they carry their
goods in such queer places as to re-
ouire adroit examinations to find
them. But the woman inspector
is equal to the woman smuggler all
the time. These inspectors are hor-
rible creatures in the sight of fash
ionable and refined ladies, return
ing from tours in Europe, with their
skirts full Of laces and their corsets
lined with ribbon of all kinds and
value. This business is now become
so notorious as to render it neces-
sary to put every woman coming
to this country from Europe under
close examination, before leaving a
ship. 1t has been carried on for
years but there is an end being put
to it in very stern way.

TIE farmers of the West are be-
ginning to find out what hurts them.
At a recent Convention made up OF
delegates frsm Minnesota, Wiscon
sin, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and
Dakota, representing the National
Farmers Alliance, the following
resolution was adopted
That in the reduction in nation
al taxes the burden should be re
moved from the necessaries in com
mon use and the absurd proposition
to take the tax from spirits and to-
bacco in preference to necessaries
demands earnest protest. We can
not readily believe that Congress
will turn over to the people cheap
whisky and tobacco in preference
to cheap salt, sugar, lumber, coal
and clothing.

The Philadelphia Record says /:
Newspapers have often given valu-
able assistance to the officers of the
law in their efforts to hnnt down
criminals or unearth schemes of
corruption. But there appears to
be an effort on the part of some
journals to assume the role of de-
tectives and revive half-forgotten
mysteries more for the purpose Of
rivalry than with the intention OF
doing the State a service. In this
they forget the true functions Of
journalism. A fearless and indie
pendent newspaper can do much
toward fostering purity in public
trusts by stirring up the officers OF
the law to a realization of their du-
ties, and by entering protests
against palpable perversions Of JUS
tice: but it is not necessary that
news gatherers should play the spy
and the detective, or be sworn in as
Deputy Sheriffs. Let every shoe
maker stick to his last.

The Radical clubs of London
have adopted resolutions condemn
ing the conviction of the Chicago
Anarchists, and asking new trial
for the men. Furthermore the
clubs are raising money with which
to send lecturers over here to speak
in favor OF the convicted murderers.
The temper of the American people
is getting to be such, that the few
er foreign anarchists come to this
country the better will it be for the
Anarchists. The London radicals
would do well to stay at home and
confine their agitation to their own
country. The time has come for
Americans to assert their authority.

WE understand that 'Demorest's

sive changes in It's editorial staff.
If parallel results could always be
obtained, we would advise every
publisher to 60 and do likewise !;
for the November number, which
has just arrived, is certainly a grand
success. "Demorest's Monthly"

THE October number of the Coos
mopolitan is the handsomest and
most interesting yet isused. 1t
opens with n beautifully illustrated
article entitled "The Passing of
the Buffalo," by WilliamrF. Horn
aday, giving graphic account of
dis recent buffalo hunt, and show
ing how the buffalo have been reck-
lessly exterminated. Another strlk-
ing, timely, and Observation-Disclosures
ed article is that of George Ii Filth
on "The Pigmy Kingdom of a De
bauchec. The author describes
the present condition of the Hawaii
an Islands, the causes of the recent
revolution, and the character of
King Kalakaua and his subjects.
The third illustrated article is the
last of the series by Arnold Burgess
johnson OH "Charles Sumner. !"
Two new portraits of the great
statesman and many striking and
characteristic anecdotes regarding
him are given. The article that
will, perhaps, attract the moss at
tention is that by j. Henry Hager
OH "The Second Wife of Napoleon
l." 1t is based upon new mater
ials just published in Europe, and
shows that she was in every way I'M
worthy of her husband, being mar
minded, vain, and unfaithful
to her marriage vows. Frank G.
Carpenter, in an article on 1.-The
Tours of the Presidents" presents
much interesting information a pro-
pos of President Cleveland's Wes-
tern trip. 1.-The First Jenny Lind

To the Editor Of the Press:
In your paper of this morning the follow
ing appears: "The Hon. l.. ID. NJ. Sweat
puts in an early claim to the credit of pro-
curing the appointment of Judge Cleaves.
A Washington despatch announces that Mr..
Sweat talked with the President Saturday
morning. Nov. 9Th, and as result, in the af-
ternoon Judge Cleaves was appointed"
AS to the despatch from Washington,
(Which appeared in the Boston Herald Of the
9th lnst.,) and on which your article of this
morning was based, have simply to say
that neither talked with nor saw the Presi-
dent, and l will further add, that have not
bad the pleasure of talking with the Presi-
dent. or even seeing him, for nearly six
months. make this statement in order to
show the character of the despatch from
Washington, which was without the shadow
of foundation in truth, and as another illus
tration of the necessity of receiving with
caution the dispatches of careless and reck-
less newspaper correspondents.

higher up are two typical bronze figures in
sitting posture. From the pedestal rises a
shaft, the upper half fluted. Near the top is
band of stars symbolic of the Union of
States, while just above is an appropriate
motto in raised letters. This shaft supports
a bronze figure of fine neproportion with sword
and shield. On the two sides of the base are
panels for the names of the fallen heroes
whose memory the design is intended to per-
petuate. The height is 72 feet, and the base
COX 40 feet. The material used is to be the
Hallowell granite.
